Notes of the Societies. 



The Rhode Island Horticultural So- 

 ciety has postponed its rose and straw- 

 berry exhibition. At the meeting of 

 this society, held June 15, one new 

 member was elected, and it was an- 

 nounced that the outing of the society 

 this year would be an excursion to Sea- 

 connet, Friday, June 24. 



At the meeting of the Newport Hor- 

 ticultural Society June 14, C. Osear 

 Schultz was awarded a certificate of 

 the first clasq for a remarkably well- 

 grown plant of Cattleya Mossise, in an 

 8-inch basket, carrying thirty-one open 

 flowers, besides buds; and nine blooms 

 had already been cut. An offer of a 

 silver cup by Henry A. Dreer, Inc., for 

 a collection of from fifteen to eighteen 

 species of herbaceous cut flowers, to be 

 shown at the September exhibition, was 

 accepted. The cup must be won twice 

 before becoming the property of any 

 competitor. The annual June exhibition 

 is scheduled for June 23 and 24, and 

 will be benched under the direction of 

 James McLeish and Andrew S. Meikle. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 Bhode Island is arranging to make a 

 visit to the Rhode Island college at 

 Kingston. 



Various Notes. 



This city was visited by a disastrous 

 hail storm Saturday, June 18. Nearly 

 three-fourths of the glass was shattered 

 in the range of Geo. Johnson & Sons, 

 and practically all the plants in the 

 open air, including 1,000 choice asters, 

 were cut down. Considerable damage 

 was suffered by Charles Hunt, Burnside 

 street, and George B. Winter, Public 

 street, and the new Melrose rose gar- 

 dens, at the corner of Wilson street and 

 Elmwood avenue, were stripped as 

 thoroughly as if they had been pruned. 

 Hundreds of dollars' damage was done 

 to foliage, shrubbery and hedges, and 

 outdoor stock of all kinds suffered 

 greatly. 



Bert West, for several years associ- 

 ated with Thomas Curley, has accepted 

 a position with William Hay at Oak- 

 lawn. 



J. A. Budlong was a recent visitor in 

 New York city.
